October 23rd, 2014 |Greg Powell, the Horse Handler, will be performing & presenting at Unbridled 2014!

Greg Powell is recognised as one of Australia’s leaders in horse handling. Greg has been a professional horseman for the last 20 years. This includes starting young horses, training horses (including problem horses) and teaching people how to train their horses. He believes in developing partnerships with horses based on mutual trust and respect and has found that his methods are beneficial across all horse disciplines.

Greg was a presenter at Equitana for about 10 years and won The Way of the Horse Competition in November 2011. His work has been covered on 60 minutes as well as documentaries aired on the 9 Network. Greg also featured on the 9 Network program Random Acts of Kindness in 2009.

Robyn Larson-Shelton, Equine Miracle: Remedial Therapy and Rehabilitation for Horses, will be sharing her extensive equine knowledge on the Unbridled 2014 Horse Quarter. Robyn’s presentation, “Is your horse hurting? Simple techniques to help owners detect potential issues” will walk you through how to view the horse from each aspect looking for signs of injury, muscular/skeletal asymmetry and pain and include demonstration of how to conduct a ‘HELP’ evaluation, using your hands to find possible issues.

Robyn has worked in the horse industry for over 30 years, and has a background in starting horses under saddle, Training & Horsemanship for different disciplines, and teaching riding; before becoming a soft tissue therapist. Robyn’s enduring passion for horses has led her on a lifelong quest to improve their lives through soft tissue therapies, rehabilitation and pain-free training & horsemanship methods. She is dedicated to educating horse owners, trainers and carers in simple evaluation techniques, exercises and hands on therapy. These ensure a more enduring benefit for the horse than a simple visit from herself, or another therapist, can provide.

We are pleased to announce that we have been able to extend the deadline for advertising space for the Unbridled 2014 program. The program is going to be a gorgeous, B5 souvenir, bursting with stunning pictures, the full 2014 program, performer details and more. We are printing 7000 copies of this stunner, and it is a fantastic way to get the news out about your business, club, organisation and more to a huge, mixed crowd of horsie and non-horsie people.

The new (and very final) deadline for advertising is October 17. We are quickly getting filled up, but definitely want to offer the opportunity to everyone who wants a spot in the Program.

We are currently on the hunt for a gaggle of generous volunteers to help us make this fabulous festival run like a dream. We are hoping that you might know some amazing folks who would be interested in getting involved! And of course we hope you might be keen too!

Volunteers will play a key role in helping to ensure Unbridled is a safe and enjoyable event for festival patrons and performers (both human and horse).

The festival has a wide variety of volunteer jobs available, from horse marshalling to stage management to working in the festival shop. We need people of all shapes, sizes and skill-sets – there is a place for everyone at Unbridled.
